A satsang hall with dark red draped curtains and colourful woven banners hanging at the top. A man in orange robes sits on an ornate gold and red throne on a raised platform, holding a book, with a microphone stand in front of him. The seated audience faces the stage on a striped red carpet; many wear white or light shirts, and one person in red sits near the front. Two women sit at the right side near the stage edge, and a projector screen hangs at upper right. Cameras and monitors stand on the platform.
